"The FCA love to punish. Just ask Amigo Loans! "

ye, punters getting 41p for every £1 i believe, so for 100 quid the person got £41.

Cant remember what the FCA inflicated on Amigo but I did read they wanted to fine Amigo £72,900,000...not sure what they paid in the end..

""The worst seems to be behind Lloyds.""

well the die hard Tories on this bb, who are also LTH's, would argue that if Labour get elected then it's Armageddon. Makes one wonder if they are ramping this so they can get out before the GE....

Also this 450m provisions is a laarf, reminds me when Lloy set aside 4.5bn for PPI and we all know how that ended....
